Distro: Slackware 8.0
Kernel: 2.1.9 (I believe).
WindowManager: KDE

I just installed slackware for the first time in a year, i have a new system and this is my problem. Tulip.o is allready compiled into the kernel, and will not work with my ethernet card. i have to compile the Tulip.o they gave me on a disk and install it as a module (Via insmod). I go to the directory where i unpacked it, and typed
make
it gives me the error.
cant find 8309.h in /usr/src/linux/net
or something to that effect, and cannot complete the make. I go to /usr/src/linux.
but i have no /net directory
So i cannot compile the file to install it. the current tulip.o does not work with my card. My card is turned off of plug and play, and enable pnp OS is turned of in my bios.

Any suggestions?

(Plus i have the dev kit installed for slackware, so i installed glibc.tgz, gmake.tgz, ect..)

In the new distro releases they are two tulip
modules. For the older LNE100TX's, there is
either a tulip_old.o or a old_tulip.o, which
ever one is in there works with the old Ver.2
cards.
